On Season 8 of The Real Housewives of Potomac, the divide in the cast is as wide as the Potomac River. On one side, you have the Green-Eyed Bandits, Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon. On the other side, you have Candiace Dillard Bassett, who’s holding a whole bunch of resentment after Season 7’s drama.
Candiace and Gizelle have basically given up on trying to make things right. In the meantime, Candiace has gone back and forth about whether or not she can be friends with Robyn. She said that Robyn’s close-knit friendship with Gizelle makes it difficult to find peace. That’s not adding up for Gizelle.
Excuses, excuses?
During a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, a virtual caller asked Gizelle her thoughts on Candiace and Robyn’s feud and their inability to reconcile. Gizelle made it pretty clear that she thinks Candiace is just making up excuses to stay mad at Robyn.
Gizelle said, “She’s just using that as a bit of an excuse. If she wants to make up with Robyn, she should because Robyn hasn’t done anything to her.”
Obviously, Candiace has a very clear reason to be upset with Gizelle. In Season 7 of RHOP, Gizelle said that Chris Bassett made her “uncomfortable” by propositioning her into a hotel room after the Season 6 reunion. Candiace felt that Gizelle was trying to insinuate sexual misconduct, and she won’t let that go. If Gizelle breathes, Candiace is waiting there with her cryangle saying, “But what about Chris?”
Candiace’s feud with Robyn makes a lot let sense. Andy Cohen pointed out that Robyn and Candiace previously had a friendship, despite her fights with Gizelle. in response, Gizelle clarified that she’s never had any issues with Candiace and Robyn’s friendship. If they want to make up and be friends, more power to them.
“If you’re friends with me, that doesn’t mean I choose who you’re friends with.” Gizelle explained, “I’m an adult.”
Of course, they’re all adults, but that hasn’t stopped them from acting childish throughout Season 8. We’ve seen nothing but temper tantrums and ultimatums, and it’s growing stale. Let’s hope there’s some peace soon because they definitely can’t go on like this forever.
The Real Housewives of Potomac continues on Bravo, Sunday nights at 8/7c.
